Hmmm... You haven't played any of those games have you?

Im specifically talking about the DS'S and psp's library this year..........there would be no point in making a thread talking about the DS having a better library overall than the psp because it is so obvious. So obvious infact, that I would be banned even mentiioning something so obvious.

Scribblenauts

Pokemon Platinum

Ace Attorney : Appolo Justice

GTA:CTW

Zelda: Spirits tracks WILL be out

Mario & Luigi RPG 3

C.O.P .....{some sub title}....basically was like a GTA:DS in 3D...& actually awsome

Proffessor Layton : Diabolical box

Nostalgia

FF:  cyrtsal Chronicles

Phantasy Star Zero

But the FOR ME....DS DESTROYS PSP's lineup this year..to put it bluntly

Game over.....damn you Darth always coming into my threads and killing them....I wanted this to last longer

Actually, I do own a DS. And I know alot about it's library. But I have to admit, my grandma knows more than I. She is the Ds' target demographic after all.

Never!

Nope , you are absolutely right........at least thats the way I see it.

Imho that's not just a theory, but a fact. PSP appeals to the standard 13-35 male demographic that PS3 and Xbox360 also cater to, while DS targets everyone and their grandma. Bigger, more diverse audience = more and more diverse games = tons of unique games only possible on that specific system. I don't wanna play my console games on a handheld, that's what my consoles are for.

The PSP relies far too much on Sony to stock the library, so when they decide to ignore it again, the third party support will dry up again also. Frankly it's a miracle they convinced developers to come back on board as it is. It's a valiant effort on their part, but I just don't see Sony being able to continue this level of support forever. 

Personally, I just came to notice that far too much of the library is full of stripped down console games. You've got the multitude of PS2 ports that function oddly without the second analog and the multitude of PS3 franchises that are stripped of features. In between that, you've got the gems like Patapon and Crush. There just are far too many of these console duds, and not enough truly original software to separate the PSP from it's bigger cousins.

Quote for the EFFING WIN!

Thats why I love my DS.....I don't want to play GT, LBP, GTA, Jak n Daxter & so on n so forth on PSP when I get clones of them on my home consoles, & for GTA, LBP & GT on my PS3

On the DS I could enjoy games like Layton, Phoenix Wright & a 3 year library I had missed out on (so it was hard making that list for "this year" as I have been playing games from its last three years, my perspective is from the point of view of a starved handheld gamer who got the Ds in June and has been ravingly playing games on it)

Your "theory" is absolutely CORRECT.....I have heard this many times at school too, "I don't want a PSP when I can play games that are on it on my PS3/360/Wii"
